ok? but something gone wrong,
so manually what is supposed to get copied where ?
dir \i686-pc-cygwin\winsup\cygwin
has a cygwin0.dll,
I thought there is supposed to be a cygwin1.dll.................
I thought surely there is a FAQ on this ? haven;t found it though
So you missed this
<http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.programming.building-cygwin>
from here
FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
?
My WAG is that you're building in the source directory which, as the FAQ
says, is a no-no.
ok thanks, but what your saying is that still up to date ?
Yes.
I mean configure generated a subdirectory .\i686-pc-cygwin, and make put
all the object files and build under that
Sorry, I don't grok the above.
and whats the cygwin0.dll ???
That's what you built. It's used for testing/debugging since you need
2 DLLs in these situations.
oh, i've now noticed a file winsup\cygwin\new-cygwin1.dll,
Yep.
I GUESS this should be copied to /bin/cygwin1.dll.
too much guesswork.......
If you say so.
though my make check isn't successfull,
Huh? No /etc/fstab file in \??\C:\cygwin\usr\local\etc\fstab.d\admin?
Using de
fault root and cygdrive prefix...
cc1: ../../.././winsup/testsuite/libltp/lib/dataascii.c: No such file or
directo
ry
make: *** [dataascii.o] Error 1
my /etc doesn't have an fstab file, shouldn't the cygwin setup have
done that?
Yes if you installed Cygwin 1.7:
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-12/msg00225.html>
If you installed 1.5, then no. Remember, snapshots are always the current
development version and in this case, there are allot of differences (by
design) between 1.5 and 1.7.

C:/cygwin/usr/local on / type unknown (binary)
C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount)
Same as above.
